I think this picture of the little girl show a god person because although the little girl is not smiling she is an innocent child. When I think of someone that I good I think of an innocent child who knows none of the bad things that are happen in the world and only know what is going on in their own little world. They have no care and are free to enjoy life. This, to me, represents a good person. This picture is a very good representation of this because it is of an young innocent girl just getting her picture taken, and maybe not even wanting her picture taken.
Bad Person:

In this picture I see a bad person because this man seems to be looking into a car window and when I look at his face I do not think he is a trust worthy person. Throughout my life I have thought of a good person as someone you can trust and I would not trust this man if he was looking into my car. Also, I think having the photo in black and white adds to the creepiness and mystery of the man. His vanes are sticking out of his forehead a little bit which makes him seem more like a bad person to me. Overall, this man embodies what I would consider a bad person.
Happy Person:

In this photograph I see a happy little girl most likely leaning over a counter to see herself in a mirror. She appears to be happy and making faces at herself and her brother is smiling in the background. I would think of him as a happy person as well; the older woman however, does not appear to be very happy in the thins photo. But overall, I think the two children in the photo as being happy and enjoying life just like the small girl in the "Good Person" photo.
Unhappy Person:
Artist: Mark Steinmetz
Title: Conyers, Georgia
Date Taken: 1998

This woman looks as though she is depressed in this photo because she has her head down and you can slightly see that she is not smiling. When I look at this picture I see a woman who has probably recently gone through something challenging in her life and is not happy; maybe even battling depression. Also, this photo is in black and white which is usually associated with something sad. There is another person is photo who may being trying to comfort this person but overall I see her as an unhappy person.
Someone with a Secret:

I thought this picture represented someone with a secret because the woman in the photograph has half her hair done and the other half is crazy and untamed. To me this means that she presents herself as the half that is nice and combed but secretly she has his other half of her, the messy side, that no one knows about. Also her facial expression makes me think that has something to hide. She looks scared and nervous, like maybe somebody discovered her secret.
